Does anyone know if this engine can run ok on Biodiesel? Can't find nothing about it in the hand book, or on Renaults website.

Clio MK III Dci 106
Can't find any info on Mk3. Loads on the MK1.
That's probably because Mk1s have old diesels engines, so non of that common rail stuff.
You probably can't convert your car to biodiesel because of the commonrail injection.
Also, the diesel pumps on the clios are made by lucas or delphi, which can not take biodiesel because the gaskets in them will start deteriorating. So if you don't have a bosh diesel pump it's useless.

I'm talking about biodiesel which is 5% that you buy at petrol stations-not 100% veggie oil.

Don't you still have to have something converted??
Someone did a Gumball with a Range Rover (brand new) using BioFuel so would guess that would've had common rail..

Depends what types were on about etc.

I thought in Europe the petrol stations all sold biodiesel (5%) type, and it was safe to use in common rail engines.

NO - dont try it.
It will block the injectors and the regulator. We repair numerous cars that have been filled with biodiesel and bill comes to just over £1k. You will need to replace the 4 injectors and flush the system. Older diesels ( pre 99 common rail type ) are ok to use biodiesel
Be warned

I won't be using at a cost of £1k. Not worth the 30p per litre saving.

I think people are confusing bio-diesel, with a diesel/vegetable oil blend.
Bio-diesel is veg oil which has had the glycerine removed by a process involving ethanol...this is fully safe as its the glycerine which blocks injectors and fuel components.
A diesel/veg blend uses 10-50% diesel to thin down the oil, making it usable in a standard diesel engine. THIS can pose issues with newer fuel systems.
The boschVlucas in the older engines was down the heating of the fuel.
